Fall of Reach!!! This already looks like a step up from season 1 and I’m saying that as someone who liked that season with its flaws.

 

[Punisher_MAX]

Some of the crying in the comments is some of the most baby back ***** **** I've ever read lol and I definitely thought the first Season had flaws. But it wasn't BAD, they made some choices I wouldn't make but overall it wasn't a dumpster fire people say it is, and I say that as someone who else grew up with the games.

Even though I sort of get some of the criticisms that people had of Season 1, I enjoyed what little I saw of it. This looks to be even better. The tone, feel, look and atmosphere definitely feels much more in line with Halo.

Also, worth noting, this season has a different showrunner/writer, which explains why this feels so different from the last season.

Yeah with the Fallout trailer yesterday this kinda flew under the radar for me but it looks really good. I liked the first season, I just thought it needed some tightening up. Hopefully we’re done with Madrigal (I’m guessing we are since they kinda wrapped that story up) and what I see here looks really good.

Looks great so far and a step up from Season 1 which I did enjoy despite its flaws. Surprisingly, I'm actually starting to get excited for this and hopefully they have learned from their mistakes from the first season.

Silver Debrief: Season 2 Reveal

<p>Season Two of the Halo television series drops out of slipspace on February 8, 2024, which means it’s time for us to unseal the hushed casket and bring the Silver Debrief out of cryo! “You deserve the truth. The enemy is at our gates… their numbers are overwhelming. Any Marine who makes this...

Following the events of Season One, picking up six months later, the state of the galaxy is very different to Season One as the Covenant War rages on and world after world falls to the alien alliance. Against these ever-mounting odds, the Master Chief must fight to prevent the war from tipping irrevocably into the certainty of extinction for humanity.

Returning in Season Two are many faces and names you’ll recognize from Season One, including Pablo Schreiber (Master Chief), Natascha McElhone (Dr. Halsey), Bokeem Woodbine (Soren), Shabana Azmi (Margaret Parangosky), Natasha Culzac (Riz-028), Olive Gray (Miranda Keyes), Yerin Ha (Kwan Ha), Bentley Kalu (Vannak-134), Kate Kennedy (Kai-125), Charlie Murphy (Makee), Danny Sapani (Jacob Keyes), and Jen Taylor (Cortana), with Fiona O’Shaughnessy (Laera) and Tylan Bailey (Kessler) also returning.
But we’ve also got some new faces...

Cristina Rodlo joins the cast as Talia Perez, a new character to Halo. As our story begins, she serves as a UNSC Marine Corps communications specialist.
And Joseph Morgan also joins the cast of Season Two as a character whose name will no doubt be familiar to fans of Halo’s expanded universe...
Say hello to James Ackerson.

New trailer:

Looks really dope and epic. The Fall of Reach should be tragic just as the game but have a sense of hope throughout and I feel that in the trailer.

Wish he had his helmet on for the posters at least.

Hope this season is an improvement .

Liking what I’m seeing from the trailers, though.

Looks intense. I was planning on canceling my Paramount subscription this month but I guess I’m not doing that. Damn it!

I'll unfortunately have to wait until it hits 4K.

Are they doing an episode a week again?

This bit has me really excited:

One Shot, One Episode​

Perhaps one of the most ambitious efforts coming from Season 2 of Halo and Weiner's vision is an entire episode without a cut. Of course, there will be cuts, but the audience will be given a long-running sequence where scenes are stitched together as though the camera were perpetually moving through the action. Halo executive producer and mastermind Kiki Wolfkill opened up about the massive effort coming in Episode 4 of Season 2.

"One of the things that we really wanted to deliver on season two was a much more sort of grounded subjective perspective for the audience," Wolfkill explained. "We wanted it to feel more visceral. We wanted it the story and the events to feel very immediate for the viewer. And so with episode four, we had a director named Craig Zisk. There's obviously big events that happen in episode four. It's very action focused. And while we had a lot of action in season one, I think the approach to this was very different. We almost look at it like a war film in terms of how we want it to feel and how we want it to sound. And the camera work was part of that and having it really feel like you're in a moment and that moment just keeps building an intensity. And the wonder, and it's a language we use in a few places throughout the season, is something that just really gives you that very, very singular and very intense perspective."

Almost unanimously, the cast members chose Episode 4 when asked which episode of Season 2 they are most excited for.

This bit has me really excited:

Yeah that’s going to be great if they pull it off well and you can kinda tell what moment it’s gonna be in the trailers.
